What's a Team?

A Team is simply a group of athletes who are following the same training program, on the same schedule. With a team, you'll have one calendar to maintain programming, which will be delivered to multiple athletes.

By grouping athletes on a Team, you'll have:

1. A central place to invite your athletes
2. A single calendar to program and deliver training to the group
3. Once place to communicate to ALL athletes
4. The ability to analyze the group's training behaviors and progress

Group your athletes on a team according to focus, ability level, or sessions per week. Athletes can belong to multiple teams, too. 

Create a Team on Web:

To create a team, Login to your coach account, and follow the 3 steps below:

1. From the Teams tab, select 'Create New' toward the upper right

2. Name your Team

3. Select 'Create Team'

This will bring you to your Team's calendar to begin programming.

From the Team Settings, you can also give the Team some personality by uploading a Logo image.

Click on the camera icon to upload an image file from your computer.

Pro Tip: The best sizes for the logo image is 500 x 500 Pixels.

How to create a Team on Mobile: 

Log into your coach account on mobile, then follow the steps below.

1. Select the calendar icon in the bottom navigation, then your profile image in the upper left

2. Select 'Teams' then the blue 'Add' button in the lower right

3. Give the team a name and select 'Create Team'

What's Next:

1. Add programming to the Team's calendar
2. Invite Athletes

We recommend you have published programming on the calendar before you invite your athletes to the Team. This ensures they receive the best first experience.

Once you have programming on the calendar, you're ready to invite your athletes to the Team!
